Say hello to [my](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/LordAshtar/bob1.jpg) [new](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/LordAshtar/bob2.jpg) [kitty](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/LordAshtar/bob3.jpg). I’ve been looking for a while because I felt like my other kitty [Loki](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/LordAshtar/Loki3.jpg) needed a little brother. He was found in the woods with a broken leg, but he’s all better now. He fiesty as hell, and I think he scared Loki a little at first, but they’re beginning to get along. Now we need a name. They’d been calling him Bob (short for Bobcat) which I don’t particularly like, although I’ve been calling him Bobby and he seems to respond to it. Other names I’ve been considering are: -Atraeu -Ra -Cougar -Tiger -Uriel -Tigger So I want to hear suggestions for cool names for this little guy. The poster who comes up with the name that I use wins a prize. It’s a hat\*. Just a hat\*. Nothing fancy, the kind with the earlaps. - - Offer not good anywhere. No hat exists. Entries become the property of Lord Ashtar, Inc and we will do with them as we see fit. ---

If you have a Loki, you must have a [Bartleby](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120655/). That’s it. Decision done. I win. Hooray! Where’s my hat? ---

Niblet. Niblet’s such an excellent name for a cat, and dammit, someone’s gonna pick it (altho’ the Bartleby mention is really first rate). And well done, including the kitten pics. This, this is how it’s done, people. Oh, the cuteness. ---

That is one _cute_ kitty. That needs to be named Thor. Or maybe Otis. ---

Adorable !! Oddly enough , when I opened that first picture, the first thing that popped into my head was “He _IS_ a Bob! (or Bobby)” I think you need to stick with that , it fits him. ---

I’m sure glad we already have a cute kitten, because your little darling would make me go to the shelter right now! What a face he has. It doesn’t look like a Bobface to me. Maybe a Martin… Marty… We’ve finally settled on Max the younger for our little guy. ---

Trickster gods/spirits/etc. make good namesakes for cats, so you should check out Wiki’s [list of mythological tricksters](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickster). I’m somewhat partial to Eshu or Azeban. ---

Oh, according to myth, Loki and Heimdallr are fated to slay each other at Ragnarok, so that might be inspiration for naming your second cat. ---

No advice on really great names, but you seriously need to get that first pic framed, and keep the negative. What a sweetheart! ---

Off the first picture, I thought he looked like a Chester, but on reading the thread I like **silenus** ’s Otis idea best. ---

I like Bobby and Bartlby too. I’m not sure, but for the norse mythology there’s Sigfried. (??..nah) But he is soooooooooo adorable!!! You could put him in [Kittenwars](http://kittenwars.com) I’m sure he’d win. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-me-name-my-new-kitty-damn-right-there-are-pics/340262.md?page=2)
